Chapter 229: Red Mansion: I am Baochai’s wet nurse (10)



After returning home, Xue Baochai kept muttering, how could you invite someone the night before and have them come the next day?

But no matter how reluctant she was, Baochai had to follow Aunt Xue into the Rongguo Mansion again the next day.

Xin Guoguo was still following beside him like an invisible man.

The sage allowed Concubine Jia Yuan to visit her parents.

The Ning and Rong mansions began to get busy, planning to build a villa for the imperial visit.

Xue Baochai had already given Daiyu some advice and even left a few people for her.

Now, the things Daiyu brought from Suzhou had already been sorted out by her and placed in her small warehouse.

Xue Baochai also knew the reason why the Jia family suddenly called them mother and daughter over.

The Jia family has no money!

After listening to Brother Lian introduce the scale of the villa for the imperial visit to them, Xue Baochai understood.

My aunt is planning to take advantage of this opportunity and make the most of it!

Seeing her mother's eyes growing brighter as she listened, and her mouth opening to speak, Xue Baochai quickly smiled and began:

"No wonder people say the Ning and Rong families are so wealthy! This imperial garden is so large, it must have cost a lot of money, right? If it were our family, we'd probably have to borrow money from others!"

When Baochai said this, both Lady Jia and Mrs. Wang's expressions changed.

Now that their original purpose has been revealed, how can they still ask for it?

Even if Aunt Xue wanted to give it again, they would not be able to accept it.

Grandmother Jia said with a smile: "Xue girl, you are joking. The Xue family is a royal merchant family. Their ancestors were even Ziwei officials. How could they have fallen to this point?"

After the group chatted for a while, the old lady said she was "tired" and asked someone to take the Xue mother and daughter to Lixiangyuan.

Daiyu still lives in Lixiangyuan.

This arrangement shows that Lady Jia and Mrs. Wang were a little annoyed with Baochai.

However, Baochai didn't care.

Aunt Xue, on the other hand, looked unhappy.

As soon as he entered the house, he pinched his daughter and said, "What nonsense are you talking about?! You look so talkative, don't you, little girl?!"

Xue Baochai said nothing, but glanced at Aunt Xue calmly:

"I don't care how much money Mom wants to give to others. But she can't touch the Xue family's money!"

"I'm about to move, what can you do?!" Aunt Xue also got angry.

She found that her daughter had become more and more rebellious since going to Beijing.

She was really pissed off!

Xue Baochai remained indifferent, as if she didn't care: "Mom, you can try it!"

After saying this, she turned and left.

Aunt Xue was left frozen in fear by her daughter's cold eyes.

When she came to her senses, she was furious:

"Look at her! Is this how a girl should behave?! I think she's grown up and has become wild. No, I have to settle this marriage quickly. If she keeps going on like this, I'm afraid this girl will rebel!"

The girl who Aunt Xue worried was going to rebel had now reunited with her sisters.

The two little girls hadn't seen each other for a long time. Although they often communicated with each other, they still had endless things to talk about.

Listening to the two little girls chattering about what happened to each other in the past few days, Xin Guoguo stood aside with a smile on her face.

There should be melon seeds here.

Thinking of this, she went downstairs and asked someone to prepare a plate of five-spice melon seeds and put it on the table.

I also brought a delicate little plate and sat not far away.

For a moment, the whole room was filled with crackling sounds.

The maids all stood outside carefully, fearing that others would see their daughter's disrespectful behavior.

Although Xue Baochai warned Aunt Xue, Aunt Xue ignored her.

In the blink of an eye, the banknote was delivered to Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wang said a few polite words and then accepted it.

The problem is, this money was not borrowed, but Aunt Xue’s sponsorship of the imperial garden!

After hearing Mrs. Wang's words, "I will leave a yard in the garden for Baochai," Aunt Xue was so happy that she almost lost her mind.

This means that Baoyu and Baochai’s marriage is not affected!

Xue Baochai was not aware of all this at the time.

Just a few days later, I heard that the construction of the imperial garden had begun.

On the day of visiting her parents, Baochai stayed up all night and waited early.

When Yuanchun came back, she followed the group to the garden.

The garden was built with extreme luxury. Baochai was wondering where the Jia family got the money from.

However, before she could find out the truth, two things happened after she visited her parents that made her extremely angry.

Originally, she planned to go home after her elder sister came to visit her parents.

But I didn't expect that my mother would directly pull me to stay there.

On the Dragon Boat Festival, rewards came from the palace.

Even Sister Yu's is the same as that of other sisters.

But her reward was the same as Baoyu's.

Baochai's eyes turned red at that moment.

If Nanny Xin hadn't reminded her, she would have burst into tears on the spot.

These people are so mean!

Pian's mother excitedly helped her put it away, with a happy look on her face.

After that day, Xue Baochai started to make a fuss about wanting to go home.

Aunt Xue turned a blind eye to all this and went to Rong Xi Tang every day, discussing something with Mrs. Wang.

A few days later, Shi's sister came to visit.

The sisters were playing together.

Baoyu suddenly came running over.

Xue Baochai was about to avoid suspicion when she was bumped into by a little maid.

Unexpectedly, she was fine, but Baoyu was so tired that his clothes got wet.

Baochai couldn't just leave now, so she could only apologize to Baoyu and let Baoyu change his clothes.

However, she was not in the mood to play with her sisters anymore, so she planned to go back.

However, she was stopped by Aunt Zhou halfway, who said that her aunt wanted to see her about something.
